I've been using "Pin to desktop" in Canary thinking it was similar to "Pin to taskbar" but it creates an app instead. What I want is the Edge "Pin/Unpin to/from taskbar" but I don't see that option anywhere.

@NicolSD Unfortunately, it is not showing up for me in 76.0.158.0. I wonder if it is rolling out in groups again the way translate and spell check did. I had those on some machines, but not others for the same earlier builds.

I assume you are seeing it under More Tools, along with Pin to Desktop.

@ms4132 A few times a week, I go through the reports in this community and check if I can duplicate the bugs. I checked yours this afternoon after I updated to the latest Canary version. I use the More Tools to pin to the taskbar.

@NicolSD thank you for confirming, I was confused since I was looking at the source code and it's not in there yet :) I was worried we may have a bug in the string or something weird. As I say, we do have this on our roadmap, so keep an eye out for it.

Yes, it's well known or widely known Pin to task bar is missing. And the Team is aware of countless people saying it's missing. I think an effort is being made to have it. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Hope we see it soon... should have been there from the onset.

And you're right, Pin to desktop is silly. Edge does not have it & god knows why it's in Edge C (right now)

@Drew1903 Yes, I don't understand why anyone would use it. Not only do they pin to the desktop, but they also pin to the Start menu and even show up in Apps & Features. You have to Uninstall them from Start or open 'Apps > Manage apps' in the Edge menu to get rid of them.

@Drew1903 When you use 'Pin to desktop' to create a shortcut to a webpage, the same shortcut is also pinned to the Start menu and added to Windows Apps & Features. It's basically being treated like an app, not a shortcut.

To remove the shortcut (ie. get rid of) from Start and Apps & Features, you can't simply delete it from the desktop; you have to either right-click on it in the Start menu and select Uninstall or open Windows Apps & Features and Uninstall it from there.

Try pinning a webpage to the desktop and then open the Start menu and check Windows Apps & Features. You'll see what I'm talking about.

Yes, which, jibes with my saying earlier that Pin to desktop is silly. Pin to task bar is what should be there; same as Edge (now). Pin to desktop doesn't even exist in Edge; no (good) reason for it to be.

Yes, Bev, MANY of us have been saying the same. Pin to desktop isn't even supposed to be there & how it works is crazy. We are praying & pleading for Pin to Taskbar, same as you. We (like to) think the Team has heard us by now :crossed_fingers:

Speaking of Pinning. We know things can be pinned from the Start menu (Rt Clk > More). Thought I'd show the Rt Clk options, including pinning, from the Applications window. Actually, less involved than via Start.
